Spoils of War




This dust-blown town doesn't sleep
It just lies under the covers, scared and crowded
Forever scanning the skies for hope

No love-songs or lullaby-lines to comfort it,
Just the empty moves and broken melodies,
Penciled hastily by distracted fingers

This once proud and golden skyline
Now hangs miserably in metallic defeat
Blanketed by an endless and unforgiving fog

The plight of one becomes the plight of many

Rejoice, for these are the spoils of war




Please tell me what you think

    SO true!
    Especially what you said in your poetry: The plight of one becomes the plight of many.
    That is so true. The way you started this write left me wanting more, good write and words that speak honestly and directly from the heart.
